Works for my Slingbox and 360!!! July 25, 2008
I bought this at a "big box" retailer that had a sale on it along with a $20 store credit. I don't have as many computers running on my network as some other reviewers do here. But, I do put my routers through a lot, I run a Slingbox Pro, ATT Tilt, Xbox 360, TiVo, network webcam, 2 computers (vista/xp), and I also run Hamachi VPN. The set up was easy, I just had to change the IP address to match up with my previous Linksys router. I copied all my pervious settings (WEP and SSID) so all my wireless clients would connect w/out re-setting them. My 360 connects fine and shows that NAT is open, I set the QoS for my Sling and 360 to always get priority. Both my Sligbox and 360 connect via AirLink powerline ethernet adapters, the router didn't have a problem recognizing them immediately and assigning an IP address to the 360. I use the WISH features to make sure my laptop is always getting the best upload it can. I love being able to go to the webpage of the router, see what is connected wirelessly and also see what the signal strength is. Another great feature I found was I could assign an IP address in the router to a specific client w/out having to do a static IP. This was great for my 360 because it ALWAYS gets the same IP address and makes it easy to use items like QoS.
My only complaint would be that the signal isn't as strong to my laptop as my previous Linksys router (2nd floor). I still get good upload/download speeds though. I don't have any "N" cards or gigabit NIC's in my network so I can't tell you how those work, but overall it's a great product.

All I can say is look at when it came out and go the the support page and look how long it has been since dstink released a update. I also had issues with Vista to Vista copies failing and this fixed it. MS blames the router.
"netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled"
Some say try restricted first.
"netsh interface tcp set global autotuninglevel=restricted"
I suspect SPI is corrupting DL's also.
I realize many ppl like this router but based on the lack of firmware support you might want to watch it for updates or move on.

They released this as an upgrade to the previous gaming router, but as soon as it was released it was obsolete. DLINK decided to focus on other routers, and since has not updated the firmware to fix bugs. I would strongly discourage buy this item, since DLINK doesn't bother with it.
1st defective, 2nd okay so far. May 19, 2008

The first one I purchased worked fine.. for one weekend. After that, it would reboot itself every 2 minutes or so unless I had ALL network cables unplugged. Wireless was disabled, so there shouldnt have been any sort of 'interference' issue. Amazon was GREAT about sending a new unit and a link to print out a return shipping label, so it didn't cost anything to get a replacement, and the new one arrived very quick. The second one has been working flawlessly so far. I don't use the GAMEFUEL or Wireless features on it, I really only purchased it for the gig LAN/WAN features as I'd like to speed up my LAN for file copying, and speed up the WAN as the old 10 meg wasn't cutting it anymore since my connection is now 15 meg. I also purchased it so I'd have the opportunity to expand if I found a reason to actually use wireless. I give a thumbs down to D-Links technical support though -- 5 days to respond?! They basically ignored the information I had provided in my emails and were giving me basic "dummy" suggestions on what to try.
